Karaoke Track: Tea And Toast by Lucy Spraggan (Dream Catcher) - Karaoke Nerds

Tom was born in 1942

With eyes of blue

And the doctors said
That his birth was far too fast

His heart stopped twice

But yet he survived
As he took his first breath

His mother took her last

And his father knew that
he wasn't to blame

But he never quite looked

at Tom the same, After that

And he rarely spoke about her
But when he did

He said, Your mother

used to say this

And in the morning,

I'll make you up
Some

tea and toast.

Well, they met through a friend
Who introduced them
And the first thing Tom said was,

Would you like to dance?

He said, It's only polite

ifl ask you tonight
Would it be alright,

ifl could walk you home?

That night he told her of his birth
And he said when it hurt
He thought about what his mother

said about tea and toast

Well, two quick years went by
They were side by side

And without a plan

they conceived a little child

She said,

I never got to meet her

But ifl did, I'm sure your

mother would have said this

When the skies are
looking bad my dear
And your heart's

lost all its hope

We'll show this baby

all the love we know

And in the morning, I'll make you up

Some tea and toast.

And he's sitting by her bed

in the hospital ward

Then their daughter walks in

with a family of her own

She says, Dad, I don't know

if she can hear you now

Butthere's one thing mum

would want you to know.

When the skies are
looking bad my dear
And your heart's

lost all its hope

Now it's time for you to let go

I'm gonna wake you
up in the mornin,

with some tea and toast
